I'm not so imaginative, but I would guess someone could engineer something like this to work with the stock hanger for a riser stem.

Sorta like one of those Nitto handlebar mounted light hangers.

Cannondale Bags--- Let's See Them!

I zoomed in on the image and the seatpost adapter to bag bracket appears to have an Eclipse logo. I plan to replicate the design and use my Cannondale front wire support once again for our Santana tandem. Probably will tie the bottom corners to the stay tubes. After 35 years since purchased new, the Cannondale stuff is not too bad.... lol
